Urnr YoriK, Jan. .1. The .Son this morn
ing publishes tho following: Tho follow
ing nccounlof the e Ircuiustances which
drought about Iho resignation of 1'rlnte
Itismnrtk is published In (he London
Times (ids morning and vouched for ns
accurate:
"l'lnnte now begins for the llrst lime to
understand the cause of UNmarck'fl fall,
and the circumstances, unknown till of
late, which accompanied II. All theso
revelations nro such that the cx-Chanccl-lor's
bitterest enemies hardly venturo to
discuss what a shadow he cait In his
descent from power.
"lhc Iron rule of Klsmarek had of lain
been an obstacle, an embarrassment, and
n cause, of Irritation lo everybody inula
constant dllllculty In tho dispatah of pub
lic affairs'. Latterly ho had seen nnno of
tho ministers of whom hu was tho chief,
had listened to none of their objections,
and gave positive and dclinlto orders, as If
the opinions ot ids associates iu the gov
ernment vvcro of no value. Hovvas almost
inaccessible, and received tlioso only
whom his caprice Invited round him. Ifo
tolerated no eibjectlons, listened with a
condescending smile which condemned
beforehand the Ideas submitted to him by
his young master, tlio i;micror.
"Hu even ccuseel really lo work, while
complulnlng bitterly if tlio slightest de
cision was come to without consulting
him. anil yet professed lilmsolt over
whelmed vvllh lubor whenever documents
were sent to him to sign. Ilohad become
a tenor to all who wcro obliged to come
near him. Nobody ventured to contradict
him; even the Diiucror William II. saw
him only occasionally, cither because Ills
Majesty was afraid of disturbingor of irri
tating him.
"At last tho moment camo when his
pupil now his master confronted tho
lutt that he was not master, but only
chief servant. The long restrained Im
perial discontent broke Into open quarrel
on a minor question, uu'il poured forth In
such u torrent that the Chancellor, taken
bv surprise and disconcerted, suddenly
suld:
" ''J lien I can only offer your Majesty
my resignation.'
"The Linpernr was silent and llismarek
withdrew. Two lioura afterward, the
livlgimtlon not having arrived, the Km
perortent nn itlde-dc-cumn. The Chan
tcllorgrictcd him very nffaldy, Jielngcon
viueeil that the r.mpt-ior wished him to
return nnd to reconsider his Idea of resig
nation; but, to lllsiuarck's horror and
surniie, thcaldc-do-canip had been scut
lo demand his willten resignation. The
Prime, very uneasy, made the lanio ox
ciisenf not having yet drawn it up, and
defcrresl tho matter till the morrow. Next
morning tho ulde-elc-canip reappeared.
This time llismarek was calmer, but again
made the same excuse, saying that before
preparing u written resignation he was
bound to pay n vMt.
, "Accordingly, he did pay a visit which,,
iiiti edible ns it may appear, we ran vouch
for, was totlie Ilmpress l'rcderlck. Yes,
In n panic at ids fall, this man, who but
Iho elay before had been the great Chan
cellor, now stooped before her whom he
hud so long hit ubled anil explained the
danger to the ei die Involved In ids fall
and the fatal Consequences which the
voting Lmpcror risked iu thus overturn
ing thefouuderof Iboemplre. Hobc":ed
her -Majesty to intervene! and prevent the
disaster to Germany, uud the remorse
that her sovereign would! feel at this un
merited humiliation of his most faithful
nCITIluU
I'lnu Kmpress lieaid him out. Shosaw
humiliating himself bcfoio her tho man
who had hated lirj,lucably her husband
ami herself, auiVj.fho had sown distrust
between father'..nd son. Nei doubt slio
e njoyed tho spectacle of seeing at her feet
tins bitter cnomv, now dismissed by tho
vciy son whom ho bad icckoned on mak
ing his tool against her. uud m it single
sentence, becoming un lhnprcsx, it mother
nnd a woman, sho returned to this cling
ing diplomatist nil tho insults ho had cast
U)ion her.
" '1 much legret being eimto powerless.
I should have been extremely glad to
intervene! with my son In yourfavor, but
you m employed all our power In es
tranging hif heart from us. making Ids
mind lorcign to mine, that I can only
witness your fall without being able to
ward It off, When you aro no longer
tbeio my son will, perhaps, ilraw nearer
to me, but then It will be loo into for mo
to help you.'
"'Iho Prince withdrew with downcast
head, and returning home found tho aide-de-camp,
who for tho fourth time had
come for his resignation, w hich the fallen
ttatcsman handed to him."

Ni.w Yiii:k, Jan. 3. Just Ilfleen minutes
alter the utidieiiio had left tlie Fifth avc
ulie'JIicalrelasI evening the watchman
of thu house on making his usual rounds
discovered n small fire under tho stage.
In less, than three hours nfler this tho
Fifth Avenue Theatre, Professor Herr
mann's new theatre and tho stores along
tho west side of lhoadwuy from 111)1 to
1203 were In ruins, and tho top stories ot
tlie Stttrtcvuut House on thu opposite side
of llroadway had been gutted,
'1 he llrst alarm ol lire was scut In at
11:55.
Ily 12:15 the Haines had burst nut from
the windows of thel'lfh Avonuo Theatre,
nnd In u few seconds later they had eaten
their way through Iho roof. Suddenly
there was a loud explosion, followed
eptlckly by live more In rapid succession.
At every frcsli explosion tho llames
weio thrown up many feet above tho
roof, 'lhc explosions were caused by the
gas In the storage tanks used iu aiding tho
spectacular effects In "Cleopatra."
The explosion blow out tho Twenty
eighth street entrance of tho Fifth Avenue
1 hcutrcund sent u volcano of sparks Hying
on Iho wind over the adjoining buildings.
Tho tire spread rapidly through tlio inte
rior of tho building, and, breaking from
every opening, communlcutesl (luickly to
tho adjoining buildings. Herrmann's the
atre caught, and in a few minutes was all
ab!u7c. All this property is n part of tho
uuscy estate, u was entirely ucsiroycu.
Iu the Gllscy llulldlng Augustus Pitou,
Hnry Taylor, Arthur Miller and several
other theatrical managers had their of
fices. They lost everything contained In
them.
Aftcrtho toots of the two Ihcatres had
gone tho dry and Intlammablt contents
and materials in the building sent out a
perfect volcano of snarks. which flaw un
ut llrst nt least llfty feet Into the nlr. Hut
tho wind had been ilslng ami was now
blowing with great velocity from tho
northwest, nnd the sparks, Instead of
going up, began to fly In great sheets
across llroadway onto tho slate-covered
mansard roof of the Sturtevant House
and against the windows and cxpjseil
woodwotk.
So Intent wcro the firemen on I lie light
against the llames on the west side of
llroadway that for a long ttmu they did
not notice the danger tliicatentiig the ho
ld. The llrst llames em the Sturtevant
House were caused I y tho burning of an
awning over ii store at tlie southeast cor
ner. A llremau pulled tho aw iilug dow n,
pounded out thu llames and then went
bad; to tlie theatio lire's. Guests were
standing iu all Iho windows of the lintel
w ate hlng the llames and the great sheets
of sjurks with Inteicst, but apparently
net dreaming that the hotel was In uctu d
danger. Hut then a great shout went up
from tlie crowds above Twenty-ninth
street and below Twenty-eighth street.
The sparks lodging hi tlie crevices be
tween tho cornices and tliu roof liad started
bla7cs in half a dozen places.
A shout from a thousand spectators
w flit lit) as a daring fireman clambered up
a htdile r nnd run along a narrow eiilnj; u
where the llames were bur-ting forth. A
hose was passed up, but while they wero
HelitluL' that lire another caught on thu
northwest coiner oftlio hotel, and despite
tho efforts of thollromen it was Impossi
ble to get a stream of water up to the fifth
lloor whero tlie llio was burning.
When thu many guests of tho hotel
heard tho clanging of thu engines they be
came friglitenesl uml began lo Hock down
stairs. Then when the llames burst out
through the windows opposite, and It be
eiimu known that tlio root' of tho building
had caught lire a panlu occurred. Trunks
and personal piopcity in general were
thrown down-stain, and partially dresed
men and women came at full speed after
them.
Muiivof tho guests tame down stairs
with their garments iu their bauds aud
put them on utter they leache I the
ground floor.
Finally six firemen with thice streams
of water secured a position opposite the
lire. Three others took another hose from
enelno No. 18. which was nt work on
Twenty-ninth street, and climbed up tlio
nnirow tlrc-esenpe to the burning root.
They then liad tlio tlaiucs between them,
and for tho llrst lime fought thullamesou
even giound.
'iho three men perched upon the far
comer ot tliu burning building, wheio the
llames were frequently blown over them
bv the high wind, oxeiled tho thousands
of spectators to ti frenry, and tho men
weio cheered with roars of applause, It
wns a dangei oils light nnd thu spectators
apiuc'datid the bravery of the men.
About half an hour after tho lire had
broken out an old-fnshloncd water tower
unlved nnd begun louring a tremendous
stleiim of wider into the llninc. Tho lat
ter woe gradually diminished, nnd bv 'J

n pile of docuinenls nnd papers showing
why tlio bill should not ho pu"cd, After
rinding tho sections of tho bill ng.iIusL
which the pisiplu proposed tn protest, Mr.
Dodge described tlio origin of tin bill. It
had not originated In the bruin of Captain
Hossell, as somuof tlio members present
thought, lint bad first been suggested by
Mr. Jniesdcll of Feklngton ut a meeting
of the Hoard of Trade. Tho matter was
discussed then, 1ml no steps taken toward
lccniume tiding It to thu Commissioners.
Mr. Dodge, however, had discussed tint
question with Commissioner Douglassiuul
loiinii mm very mticii in luvorol it.
Mr. Deslgo was oposed to tho mpattm
becnuse it was unjust to tliu citizens of
northeast Washington. For over twenty
years they had been paying taxes Into thu
general fund uud had received no lienllts.
J he northwest bos rucelvtsl the biggest
share of the money, und now when It hx
securest nil its improvements out of Iho
general fund the northeast is left out and
will lie compelled to pay again for tlio im
provements to Its own streets.
Mr. Dodge then made the point,
that the people on both sides of ,i
street would liavetu agree topiy for (iir.
improvement, nnd it would lie tiumd Hint
they would seldom agree, "I'ho fait Is,"
he said, "it will permit Truiwdell to Hit
asphalt pavements in Feklngton at half
prlco whero there are no lieoplo on either
side iif tbeslri'ct." "The general public,"
the speaker said, "aro under an erromsms
impicssioii Hint tlio Government supplies
emu half of tlio amount ncccssiry tositfi
lort tho District. This is untrue for it is
required to piovido un amount equal t
the amount of taxes derived fiom tin peo
ple of the Dislrld."
At this point Mr. Dodcu referrcl to hK
docuinenls nud gave a lengthy account of
tho stale of Hie District lliiauim from
1S7 until the present time. He rend ex
tracts from tho ('euirsiloiii(7&roniiiliow

Sir. Dislgu attacked Hie admiiiHr.itioti
of tho Hoard of Public Workn between
167ll-'75 with t oiisldendile vliror. Thw
debt or the District before the llouril took

Incy got tlirougn iwiu. .jtiid
'tlio Hoard ere.ilcd this debt In ill reel op
position to Congress, slncu that body hid
dcclareil Hint tho expenses of the District
should not exceed tin amount of taxes
nsscsscd by more than ID per cent The,
debt has now been reduced to 810,781,0.71.
The present system of tiexasse-voiioiit
also ctimu Infor a share of Mr DodgeN
loiidemuutlou, and be said that the rev
enues of tlie District would bchitreas!
by half a million if taxes were properly
regiilatcel.

some time a change lu tliu form of the
District Government.
Whnt particular form of government

scored tho milltutv brunch ol tho trium
virate unmercifully. Tliu present en

fairly, uud lie liad nothing to say agtihist
them. '1 bo past, however, rankled in Ids
memory, and he lehearsed thu story of
Colonel Ludlow's MU) horse, S00 harness,
do. Mr. Dodge believed tbut the hors!
bed actually cost tho District fl.PM,
though the amount vvus not nil charged tu
that effect. The Inline! scandal wus not left
untouched by -Mr. Dodge, uud, after re
viewing the many pd schemes of llioeu
i.lnccr's olllee, he read uspeish deilverevl
by Itepresciilntivu Wilson of West Virginia
In 1887, in which thu military branch or
